This hotel is relatively classic. Some people may think it is old, but in fact I like it very much because the scenery and location are very good, and the hotel has a very historical background and the overall atmosphere is very good.

The Drake is a wonderful hotel with tons of charm. The staff was always very friendly and helpful providing tips for getting a bus card or an umbrella when it was raining. It was a wonderful location, not far from the metro and very close to the bus stop I needed to get to my conference. It’s also right next to the water.

I loved the look of the historic hotel. We had a great time. I love how fast of a response I would get though texting. We also enjoyed an afternoon tea while we were there.
